Tradestation: The good, the bad or the ugly?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

if you read the comments on tradestation on the typical pages, the result is pretty mixed. A lot of complaints, but also a lot a fans, which in general like the software not so much the brokerage service.

 

Because it's not possible to demo trade the platform. I would like to ask about some experiences with the platform, the order matrix and specially with data and service.

 

I plan to be more a scalper, so the funcinality of the order matrix would be interesting as well. Is it easy to enter and modify orders and to scale out manually?

 

The commissions seem to be ok and with 10 RT (futures) the platform fee is waived. Even if the 30 day trial they offer is more or less a joke, because you have to do the 10 RT if you don't want to pay the $99 the next month.

 

Any experiences are welcome!

Hi timokrates,

 

If you are a scalper the TS execution will not be suitable for you in my opinion. I personally recommend the Infinity AT (pm me if interested). I have had numerous cases of execution problems in the past with TS with matrix freezing, slippage, etc.. which is why I left TS.

 

However, the charting software is top notch. Even the Reuters client trading ppl admitted it when I mentioned how much Reuters suck compared to TS. lol

I like TS because it's all in one and simple to use, you get great charting software and the ability to trade. I think the TS matrix is confusing and I've never been fond of it. But I do like the ability to create indicators and all of that.

 

If you want just charts, from my experience eSignal is the way to go. Ideally I would love to use Infinity AT with eSignal since I tend to lean more towards scalping. But then again that comes down to what your definition of scalping is, and that's a whole other topic on it's own. But if you want good charts and plan on holding a position for longer than a "scalp" then I think TS is a good route to explore.

 

You might want to check out OEC, I know a few people here use it and enjoy it.

Thanks a lot everybody.

 

I tested most of the platforms and have to say that the Infinity order window is great.

 

Also Ninjatrader is attractive in a way. The Zen data feed is very fast, but I had some problems with the platform in regards to crashes and software problems.

Soultrader you mentioned somewhere that you think about using NT?

 

What I need is a professional platform and service. I will check Infinity again.

 

Any experiences with X-Trader? I believe with Velocity Futures it's affordable. You pay higher commissions ($5.75), but then it's free.

 

What I need is reliability specially in regards to the data, because I plan to base my trades more on time & sales. For that the Interactive Brokers feed is not the right one for example.

Hi timokrates,

 

Try the Infinity AT demo first to see if you like it. I work closely with them so can negotiate good rates for you with Infinity. If you are a scalper, frequency should be high so I should be able to get you decent rates. Let me know.

tim,

My feedback on your choices here:

 

TS - Great charts, junk order entry. Customer service is practically non-existent. Good luck if you need out of a trade and your computer is down. GREAT charts though.

 

XTrader - If you NEED the functions, worth the cost. I'm guessing you probably don't. NOT worth the extra cost in my opinion.

 

Ninja/Zen - as you said, gets great reviews but kind of costly in my opinion for what you get. If I was going to go this route, I'd probably consider something like Xtrader or T4 for the same costs.

 

Infinity - I personally never received a competitive commission quote. Take it for what it's worth.

 

Open ECry - I'm biased here since I trade here currently. Great rates, customer service and platform. The platform AND data are FREE. You can plug the data into other charting platforms if you don't like their package. Just an all around great deal for how competitive their commissions are.

My thoughts on CHEAP services-

 

TS has very nice charts and a big community, but their execution for aggressive daytraders is very poor. Also their support is lacking imo. It's selling point is that it's an "All in One" package where you can trade many different instruments. Note: I do know people that trade their 10 round trips a month to wave the fee and then use another broker for execution.

 

If you are looking for a cheap solid service Infinity is great. I have never had a problem with their execution and their charting software is only $26/mo. Even during FOMC announcements I have had a flawless feed. (Futures only though)

 

I have heard good things about OEC but have not used them. From what I have heard they sound very similar to Infinity with their quality of service.

All things being equal, OEC's platform is FREE along with FREE data. Not sure if Infinity offers their customers FREE data to just about any exchange/contract you could want. That's a big deal for many since data fees can be one of the larger expenses of a trader's budget. Removing ALL data fees is a nice thing.

 

Does Infinity offer free data as well? I have no idea.

 

I think that's the difference between an OEC and Infinity vs. a Ninja or TT - since they are going to make their money on the commissions side, they can afford to give away or charge little for data/charting whereas a Ninja must charge for the product b/c they are not making money on the brokerage side.

 

Not too mention, I believe Ninja can cost as much as $700/mo depending on volume and such. I was paying $500/mo for T4 and eliminating that extra fee has saved me $6k a year.

Infinity data is FREE. You can trade through the their DOM without having the charting service. As for the instruments you can trade, they have the standard futures. (ER2, ES, DAS, ESX, NQ, YM). So yes, if you are looking for only one broker that can do all (more than futures) Infinity will not suite your needs. It's the charting that cost money and I have never used OEC's charting so I can't compare.

 

However, this is why I stated that many people trade the min amount with TS and do the rest of the execution through another broker. I personally believe that any serious trader should have two brokers anyway. For example, trading with TS and Infinity gives you free charting (with TS) and fast execution (with Infinity) while being able to trade anything you want while hedging some connection or data feed risk with two individual brokers.

 

But yes, I have NO affiliation with Infinity and I have NOT used (having nothing against) OEC. So who knows, OEC might be the best for some. I am just stating what I have observed.

Thanks for your detailled statement.

 

I just downloaded the OpenECry demo. Tried it before, but went on because they did not offer Tick or volume charts.

 

Do you use these kind of charts and what about time & sales? Did they implement it now? And does it work correctly (read some negative comments somewhere)?

 

In regards to Ninjatrader and X-Trader don't you think that NT with $50 is less expensive in comparison? Do you have other rates?

 

In general I'm searching for a good package with great data and order entry/modification (and execution of course), good charting (don't need fancy indicators, just working tick or volume charts) and the time & sales feature.

 

Of course fees and specially commissions play a decent role, but reliability regarding platform and brokerage are in first plays - don't get me wrong, I'm not the guy that is able to afford CQG...

Tim - OEC does now have tick and volume charts as an available setting on their charting. If I may say so myself, the volume setting was a suggestion that I highly recommended to them. ;)

 

No time and sales currently. That's on my list as well.

Does anybody know if it's possible to use NT (which is free for charting I believe) in combination with Infinity, so that you only have one account?

I can't say for sure but Infinity is supported by NT, and the option to purchase/lease it for execution with them is not available.

 

That's why I think they have some sort of deal with them.

 

The platform I would most love to evaluate/use is NeoTicker, sounds pretty sophisticated but NT is my best option at the moment.

Thanks Sparrow,

 

I demoed Ninja trough them. Not bad, but as mentioned before I have some trouble with NT because it's very system consuming.

 

In general I got the impression that NT contains some good ideas, but it seems to be a bit beta...

Is it an exact copy of Tradestation?
No. It has gotten a lot better with 2.1 (but also >2x more expensive as well from $399 I believe to $899), but automation trading is quite limited and there are no radar screen and DOM.

The good news is that most indicators will run without much alteration, even some of the bid/ask transient data type indicators. The question you should ask yourself is what type of trader are you and what type of charting and data feed do you need?

TS has excellent charting, and for 10 roundtrips per month you get it for free. But the YM data is $55, and the order execution is slow.

 

I spoke to a TS representative some weeks ago and he said very soon they will have a demo version of TS. That was my biggest complaint about TS, is that they provided no demo. I lost some money on account of that. But if that is fixed then the next biggest complain is poor execution. Infinity is the way to go with that, and also IB. Though customer service at IB is the worse I have encountered.

I agree with you about NT, although imo resource consumption isn't that bad, at least if you have your computer dedicated to trading.

 

It's good enough to satisfy most of my very specific needs: free with data from MB, convenient to program and pretty.

But it is clearly not as advanced as some of the competitors and isn't rock solid but stability is ok:pc guru:.

 

QuoteTracker is another interesting platform, it doesn't have the bells and whistles but I've seen people rack up serious profits with it.

 

Good luck und Grüße zurück nach Köln:ciao:

Does anyone know if it's possible to use Infinity with either eSignal or TS? Or since it can be used as an independent broker can I use it with whatever charting software I'd like?

 

The more I scalp, the more I find myself losing money with TS due to bad fills.

I think I will give it a try. If you buy it for a half year you end up with $49, what is just comparable to Ninjatrader for example.

 

Regarding Infinity (Sierra) Charts I have to say that it's cheap and stable, but not very intuitive. And if you have to work with it the whole day is has to suit you imho.

 

Does anybody know about the different data feeds brokers use. Are there big differences or is the difference more in regards to order execution?

 

From what I saw Zen data is really fast, but is the difference so big that it matters - even for scalpers?

 

Don't they all use the same data coming directly from the exchange like the CME?

I was at my desk all day today and did not have any problems with TS.

 

Their DOM can get messy from time to time, but often it is my own internet service that is the problem. But I only trade 2-3x per day and I have my entry orders parked well before price gets there so I can't really comment from an aggressive scalping point of view. I have used TS for charting since 1998 so I like their charts and easy language is the only programming language I am remotely familiar with. It sounds like there are better options out there these days, but it is familiar and it works for me.

 

 

I just heard that TS went down today again? Can anyone confirm this?

    • Date: 2nd April 2025.   Market on Edge: Tariff Announcement and Volatility Ahead!   The US economic and employment data continues to deteriorate with the job vacancies figures dropping to a 5-month low. In addition to this, the IMS Manufacturing PMI also fell below expectations. However, both the US Dollar and Gold declined simultaneously following the release of the two figures, an uncommon occurrence in the market. Traders expect a key factor to be today’s ‘liberation day’ where the US will impose tariffs on imports. USDJPY - Traders Await Tariff Confirmation! Traders looking to determine how the USDJPY will look today will find it difficult to determine until the US confirms its tariff plan. Today is the day when Trump previously stated he would finalize and announce his tariff plan. The administration has not yet released the policy, but investors expect it to be the most expansionary in a century. President Trump is due to speak at 20:00 GMT. On HFM's Calendar the speech is stated as "US Liberation Day Tariff Announcement". Currently, analysts are expecting Trump’s Tariff Plan to impose tariffs on the EU, chips and pharmaceuticals later today as well as reciprocal tariffs. Economists have a good idea of how these tariffs may take effect, but reciprocal tariffs are still unspecified. In addition to this, 25% tariffs on the car industry will start tomorrow. The tariffs on the foreign cars industry are a factor which will particularly impact Japan. Although, traders should note that this is what is expected and is not yet finalised. Last week, President Trump stated that he would implement retaliatory tariffs but allow exemptions for certain US trade partners. Treasury Secretary Mr Bessent and National Economic Council Director Mr Hassett suggested that the restrictions would primarily target 15 countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit. However, yesterday, Trump contradicted these statements, asserting that additional duties would be imposed on any country that has implemented similar measures against US products. The day’s volatility will depend on which route the US administration takes. The harshness of the policy will influence both the Japanese Yen as well as the US Dollar.   USDJPY 5-Minute Chart   US Economic and Employment Data The JOLT Job Vacancies figure fell below expectations and is lower than the previous month’s figure. The JOLT Job Vacancies read 7.57 million whereas the average of the past 6 months is 7.78 million. The ISM Manufacturing Index also fell below the key level of 50.00 and was 5 points lower than what analysts were expecting. The data is negative for the US Dollar, particularly as the latest release applies more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, this is unlikely to happen if the trade policy ignites higher and stickier inflation. In the Bank of Japan’s Governor's latest speech, Mr Ueda said that the tariffs are likely to trigger higher inflation. USDJPY Technical Analysis Currently, the Japanese Yen Index is the worst performing of the day while the US Dollar Index is more or less unchanged. However, this is something traders will continue to monitor as the EU session starts. In the 2-hour timeframe, the USDJPY is trading at the neutral level below the 75-bar EMA and 100-bar SMA. The RSI and MACD is also at the neutral level meaning traders should be open to price movements in either direction. On the smaller timeframes, such as the 5-minute timeframe, there is a slight bias towards a bullish outcome. However, this is only likely if the latest bearish swing does not drop below the 200-Bar SMA.     The key resistant level can be seen at 150.262 and the support level at 149.115. Breakout levels are at 149.988 and 149.674. Key Takeaway Points: Job vacancies hit a five-month low, and the ISM Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions. Traders await confirmation on Trump’s tariff policy, which is expected to impact the EU, chips, pharmaceuticals, and foreign car industries. The severity of the tariffs will influence both the JPY and the USD, with traders waiting for final policy details. The Japanese Yen Index is the worst index of the day while the US Dollar Index is unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • HLF Herbalife stock, watch for a bull flag breakout above 9.02 at https://stockconsultant.com/?HLF
    • Date: 1st April 2025.   Will Gold’s Rally Hold Strong as New Trade Tariffs Take Effect Tomorrow?   Gold continues to increase in value for a sixth consecutive day and is trading more than 17% higher in 2025. Amid fear of higher inflation, a recession and the tariffs war escalating investors continue to invest into Gold pushing demand higher. The trade policy from April 2nd onwards continues to be a key factor for the whole market. Can Gold maintain its upward trend? Trade Policy From Tomorrow Onwards Starting as soon as tomorrow, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all passenger cars imported into the United States. While this White House policy is anticipated to negatively affect European industrial performance, it will also lead to higher transportation and maintenance costs for everyday American taxpayers. The negative impact expected on both the EU and US is one of the reasons investors continue to buy Gold. Additionally, last month, President Donald Trump announced reciprocal sanctions against any trade partners that impose import restrictions on US goods. Furthermore, tariffs on products from Canada and the EU could increase even more if they attempt to coordinate a response. Overall, investors continue to worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures, particularly from China, the Eurozone, and Japan. Any retaliation is likely to escalate the trade conflict and prompt another reaction from the US. Experts at Goldman Sachs and other investment banks warn that this will lead to rising inflation and unemployment. They also caution that it could effectively halt economic growth in the US.   XAUUSD 1-Hour Chart   The Weakness In The US Dollar Another factor which is allowing the price of XAUUSD to increase in value is the US Dollar which has been unable to maintain any bullish momentum. Despite last week’s Core PCE Price Index rising to its highest level since February 2024, the US Dollar has been unable to see any significant rise in value. Due to the US Dollar and Gold's inverse correlation, the price of Gold is benefiting from the Dollar weakness. Investors worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures from China, the Eurozone, and Japan, potentially escalating the conflict. Experts at The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. believe that such actions by the US administration will drive rising inflation and unemployment while effectively halting economic growth in the country. Can Gold Maintain Momentum? When it comes to technical analysis, the price of Gold is not trading at a price where oscillators are indicating the instrument is overbought. The Relative Strength Index currently trades at 68.88, outside of the overbought area, since Gold’s price fell 0.65% during this morning’s session. However, even with this decline, the price still remains 0.40% higher than the day’s open price. In terms of fundamental analysis, there continues to be plenty of factors indicating the price could continue to rise. However, the price movement of the week will also partially depend on the employment data from the US. The US is due to release the JOLTS Job Vacancies for February this afternoon, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change tomorrow, and the NFP Change and Unemployment Rate on Friday. If all data reads higher than expectations, investors may look to sell to lock in profits at the high price. Key Takeaway Points: Gold’s Rally Continues – Up 17% in 2025 as investors seek safety from inflation, recession fears, and trade tensions. Trade War Impact – New US tariffs and potential retaliation from China, the EU, and Japan drive uncertainty, boosting Gold demand. Weak US Dollar – The Dollar’s struggle supports Gold’s rise due to their inverse correlation. Gold’s Outlook – Uptrend may continue, but US jobs data could trigger profit-taking.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
